The rear derailleur is a critical component in your bike’s drivetrain, responsible for shifting smoothly between gears and ensuring precise, responsive performance. If your shifting is sluggish, inconsistent, or if you're experiencing missed shifts, it might be time for a Rear Derailleur Service. Our comprehensive service will restore your derailleur to optimal condition, helping you ride with confidence and precision.
Complete Inspection & Adjustment
We start by thoroughly inspecting your rear derailleur for any signs of damage, wear, or misalignment. This includes checking the derailleur hanger, jockey wheels, and the cage for any issues. We'll also assess the condition of the derailleur’s pivot points and the alignment of the derailleur hanger.
Cleaning & Lubing
The derailleur and surrounding drivetrain components are cleaned to remove built-up dirt, grime, and old lubricant. We apply fresh lubricant to the moving parts, reducing friction and ensuring smooth, efficient shifting.
Cable & Housing Check
We inspect your derailleur cable and housing for wear, rust, or damage. If your cables are stiff or have too much slack, we’ll make necessary adjustments or replace cables if needed to improve shifting performance (Cables and housings are excluded).
Adjustment of Limit Screws
The limit screws of the derailleur are adjusted to ensure the derailleur moves freely within the correct range. This prevents the derailleur from shifting too far, either dropping the chain or failing to shift into certain gears.
B-Bolt & Chainline Alignment
We check and adjust the B-bolt to ensure proper tension and alignment between the derailleur and the cassette. Proper chainline is critical for efficient shifting and long-term drivetrain health.
Shifting Precision Test
Once the derailleur is serviced, we test the shifting performance across all gears. We fine-tune the barrel adjusters and cable tension to ensure precise, crisp shifts every time you change gears.
Final Inspection & Test Ride
After the service is completed, we perform a final inspection and test ride to verify that the derailleur shifts smoothly under load. We make any final tweaks necessary to ensure optimal performance.
Please Note: This service excludes the cost of any parts that may be needed.
